My best friend Fiona texted me during the Oscars last night. “Do they have a sexiest voice category? If so, Idris gets my vote!”
Fiona isn’t an exclamation points kind of person.
Or a celebrity kind of person.
We are opposites. I am flighty and superficial. She is grounded and thoughtful. Full Story

Idris Elba was in Berlin yesterday at the Jaguar presentation. Isn’t that a Bond car? Or a villain car? Aston Martin is the Bond car, right? Whatever. I needed to make a Bond connection there. And he says he’s not Bond…yet:
“It’s really just a rumor—and it’s not even my rumor!”
Idris went on to tell BloombergFull Story

The NBA was in the UK last night. The Milwaukee Bucks played the New York Knicks.

Maybe he just likes watching dartsFull Story

Lorella texted me this morning and asked me if I’d heard Idris Elba’s new song. I told her I hadn’t and that I didn’t want to. Because…well…
You’ve seen his Private Garden before, right?
Look. I’d love a situation in which my private garden and Idris Elba are having a conversation but this…was not what I had in mind a few years ago when I first wrote about it:
But then Lorella clarified that she’d heard the new song on the radio in London and it was good. Full Story

There are a lot of cameos in Avengers: Age of Ultron. I don’t want to get yelled at for spoilers, so I’m not enumerating them here, but if you peruse nerd sites you can easily find out which ones have already been spoiled, and now you can add two more to the list. While giving an interview to the Telegraph, Idris Elba let it drop that he and Tom Hiddleston have cameos in Age of Ultron. Full Story

The Invictus Games are now underway in England. Prince Harry has been passionately promoting the event for over a year.

In the previous post, we discussed our different flavour preferences. Cumberbatch or The Riot Club. Robert Pattinson or Liam Hemsworth. The only way to move forward is to agree to disagree.

I don’t know if it was because of the Monday traffic or the fact that people are stupid and I hate them, but I can only find, like, 5 shots of Idris Elba at the Emmys. Kaley Cuoco? No problem. She probably got there at noon. Idris Elba? Who was a nominee? Idris Elba? Who is everything for everyone?
Less than 10. Full Story

You know what?
I thought about breaking down this article for you but…why?
You’re not paying attention. You’re looking at these photos. You’re watching the video below. And you can’t process anything. I understand. It took me a while too. Because this man, Idris Elba, this man is universal. Full Story

Someone emailed me this morning asking for some Friday “man candy” in the form of Idris Elba. Not going to lie and I don’t mean to hurt feelings…but I hate this expression. Then these new shots showed up on the agency database and I thought, well, I guess I’m the asshole because using the word “man candy” evidently conjured a bare chested Idris Elba on set in London.

Nelson Mandela would have been in Gryffindor, for sure.
But Luther? Luther is TOTALLY Slytherin. Like me!
Check out Idris Elba wearing Slytherin colours at Leavesden Studios the other day with his daughter. His daughter Isan is Hufflepuff. You know who’s Hufflepuff? Duana. It’s one of the great frustrations of her life. Full Story
